RE: email libraries in python?

 

 

Very strange I tried it and it worked fine on my cygwin python and on my
linux one.  One thing you can try to see if you have the package correct in
your distribution is when in the interpreter do something like this.

 

Import email.mime

 

If that works try 

 

Import email.mime.text

 

If that does not work then try

 

Dir (email.mime)

 

See what it tells you.  I am betting your missing a package but until you
check with Dir you won't know.  Note you need to do the import email.mime
first before you can do dir(email.mime)

Subject: email libraries in python?

 

Hello list,

I was trying to make a mail sender of sorts in python, and have a question.

#!/usr/bin/python2.5
import sys
import atexit
import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText

the compiler errors: I'm using 2.5, and it says email v4 was distributed
with 2.5... here's the error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./email.py", line 4, in <module>
    import smtplib
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/smtplib.py", line 46, in <module>
    import email.Utils
  File "/home/tyler/email.py", line 5, in <module>
    from email.mime.text import MIMEText
ImportError: No module named mime.text
